Plaza de Mayo - Madres de Plaza de Mayo



The oldest square in the city, which is landscaped with beautiful gardens and palm trees. Here you will find the Piramide de Mayo, a monument to commemorate the one year anniversary of the May Revolution in 1811. Along the square there are several colonial buildings, such as Metropolitan Cathedral, Casa Rosada (fort), Cabildo (town hall), and the Banco de la Nación Argentina. Important historical events have taken place here.

In May 1810, the citizens gathered when the first Patriotic Government was declared. In 1945, the supporter of Perón first rallied to ask the government for his release. The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo demonstrated here from 1976 to 1983.
